Each grinder will vary slightly in calibration from another grinder of the same make and model. You can use our guide on dialing in your grind to refine your settings once you have brewed once or twice at the recommended settings.
We encourage the user to keep an eye on the first brew with a new brewer or grinder to ensure that the grind settings are not too fine, to prevent spillage or overflow.
